I`ve Just Seen The Rock Of Ages — текст песни (Flatt and Scruggs)

Oh, I was standing by the bedside
Where my fevered mother lay
When she called me close beside her
And I thought I heard her say

I`ve just seen the rock of ages
Jacob`s ladder hanging down
I`ve just crossed the river of Jordan
Now, my son, I`m homeward bound

Oh, as we gathered by her bedside
Tears begin to fill our eyes
Then she called me close beside her
And whispered softly her good-byes

Pine trees blowing cross the mountain
Where forever she will lay
There she`ll rest beside the fountain
There she`ll sleep beneath the clay
